Thailand is a developing country that dares to implement a metro system, not by govt but by a private enterprise under build-operate-transfer basis. When a housing developer Tanayong group proposed to Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BKK city govt) to build an electric skytrain linking the major nothern/eastern provincial bus terminal into the city center itself about 30 years ago, local and expatriates were skeptical because previously HK Hopewell and Canadian Lavalin had proposed such project in Bangkok to the national govt but failed hopelessly to complete the project. In the case of Lavalin, only about 1-2% was completed while Hopewell did a little better upto 5% before both concessionaires abandoned the project. However, Bangkok governor at the time did not listen to experts' advices and granted Tanayong concession to carry out the project. Tanayong managed to borrow enough funds from local and overseas banks to build the civil structure running above the main roads, thus did not have to pay any land expropriation fee. When the civil structure was completed, Tanayong bought train and signal system from German Siemens as well as contracting Siemens to help run the system for 10 years. The first year it official opened was about 22 years ago. Even then, some Thai and expatriates still voiced doubts whether the metro could earn enough revenue to cover the running costs as well as earning profits to pay off principals and interests as the first year's ridership was not great barely covering only the operating costs. However, within 5 years the skytrain (Bangkok Transport System or BTS) turned profitable and after 22 years, the BTS is earning huge profit and has long paid off all debts. When the national govt saw BTS success, it also planned its own MRT (Mass Rail Transit) systems, covering more lines (at least 10 now). However, since some lines are run underground and some above ground, no private companies dared to do the same as Tanayong (now renamed BTS Group) as the civil construction is very expensive. So the national govt established MRT to design the lines and tender civil constructions using govt budget. Once civil construction is completed, MRT tenders bids for private operators to secure the train system as well as running them under concessions. Bangkok is now covered by BTS/MRT systems more than 200 kms altogether.
It's the "iPhone 14 Pro 4K HDR 30 fps. Ultra Wide". I cannot get over the quality of the videos using this phone. The low light capability is exceptional. Indeed, I'd be interested to hear if any phone is considered better. Thanks, of course, to Real Thailand 4K who always does a grand job.

Your info is worthy. Please enter breaks once in awhile.
Thank you for deep information 🇹🇭👍👍🙏🙏
อ่านเหนื่อย😊😊❤️
Beautiful city view, I love your videos. Thank you for sharing.
Looks so clean and modern. Hopefully someday I'll visit it.
J'aime trop Bangkok😍
Nice video, wonderful night walking in Bangkok ❤️
Great tour and filming, enjoyed the nighttime views. Thank you for taking us there. Greetings from Minnesota! 😍😍👍
This is wonderful
Pretty amazing!
ขยะเยอะมากเลยทำไมไม่ไปทิ้งถังขยะก็มีไม่ทิ้งให้เป็นที่ทางมันจะติดนิสัยมักง่ายเอานะ บอกตามตรง มันต้องเห็นแก่ตัวขนาดไหนต้องหน้าด้านขนาดไหนถึงกล้าทิ้งขยะลงบนพื้นได้ทั้งๆที่คนเดินเยอะแยะมากมาย แค่ทิ้งขยะให้ถูกที่ยังทำไมได้เลย เรื่องง่ายๆแค่นี้เอง ชีวิตนี้จะไปทำอะไรได้
ช่วยกันรักษา
ยุคชัชชาติปล่อยก่ามเร่แผงลอยแถมดูจะไม่แข็งด้วยคุมไม่อยู่
ทุกคนแหละ มีนิสัยมักง่าย มันต้องแก้ด้วยนิสัย
Thank you. 😊
Thailand is the best SEA country 🥰
มอเตอร์ไซด์ยังคงจอดบนทางเท้าอีกตามเคย ล็อคล้อให้เสียค่าปรับ2000ไปเลยจะดีมาก เมืองปลายทางที่ต่างชาติอยากมาเที่ยวติดอันดับโลกควรจะมีวิธีจัดการให้มันดีกว่านี้เพื่อดึงดูดนักท่องเที่ยว ตั้งแผงขายของก็ยังมีให้เห็น มันดูขัดหูขัดตา ไม่ใช่ปล่อยปะละเลย โดยรวมดีแล้วแก้ไขอีกนิดหน่อยก็จะสุดปัง ตามรอยเกาหลีและญีปุ่นต่อไป
จริงง
จับปรับคนขายลอตเตอรี่ด้วยมาวางเรัยงขายบนทางเท้าอย่างงั้นมันดูขัดๆยังไงเมืองท่องเที่ยวควรเข้มงวดด้วย
ปกติปรับ 5000 ตามกฏหมาย เดี๋ยวนี้ไม่รู้ ตร ไปใหนหมด ยิ่งกับวินจะใจดีเป็นพิเศษ
2000 น้อยไปต้อง 20000 ทั้งปรับทั้งจำเลยถึงจะดี ให้พวกมันจะได้หลาบจำ
Nice you Bangkok
Isn't it much nicer to walk in January weather than in December weather???
I LOVE❤ WONDERFUL BANGKOK CITY' THAILAND❤ FROM JAKARTA CITY" BEKASI CITY" DEPOK CITY" BANDUNG CITY" JAWA ISLANDS" INDONESIA..💖💟💕

ตั้งแต่ไม่มีสายไฟ ดูดีขึ้นเยอะเลยนะ😂
Looks like in South Korea
Bangkok is the modern and luxurious city in south east Asia
เมืองหลวงมันก็ต้องสวยอยู่แล้ว เป็นเรื่องปกติ
ใช่ๆ สวยในกรุงแต่รอบๆกรุงนี่รับไม่ได้จิงๆ
งง กับต้นไม้เกาะกลาง กลางเมือง กรุงเทพมากอ่ะ คือลงปุ๊ป อยู่ได้อาทิตย์นึง เหี่ยวตายเเละ อะไรวะ
ผู้ว่าชัชชาติมาดูหน่อยนะ อันไหนดีก็ชม อันไหนแย่ก็ด่า ประเทศมันถึงจะพัฒนา
